Chavismo decides to forgo the formalities of election fraud, just bans opposition parties outright.

At the last minute, the CNE prevents Primero Justicia from going to the reparations phase
Feb 2, 2018 7:07 pm

The principal rector of the National Electoral Council, Luis Emilio Rondón, announced that the entity will prevent Primero Justicia from going to the repair phase, scheduled for this weekend, which would allow it to be validated as a political organization.

Rondón explained that the CNE modified the conditions of the process of validation of political parties, not complying "with the timetable already approved and published", with which the yellow awning would be invalidated to participate in the next presidential elections.

The Electoral Power ordered the political parties to carry out the validation process again by refusing to participate in the mayoral elections. Acción Democrática was the only organization that obtained the necessary signatures to validate last weekend. While Voluntad Popular warned that it would not participate.

So, any hope that there would be some sort of honesty and integrity at all in the pending Venezuela elections has been dashed. What most have known was coming for years, Chavismo has finally brought to fruition.

And "Acción Democrática", led by the despised fawning political opportunist Henry Ramos Allup was granted 4 governorships in the last fake regional elections when he promised that his governors would pledge fealty to the PSUV created ANC instead of the Constitution. Methinks he will be joining Delcy, Diosdado and Maduro in Cuba when the wheels come off Chavismo later... or meet Quisling's fate.
